I think this is Ellen in 1901, with her name wrongly given as Grey instead of Guy - enumerator's mistake:

Looking at the 1911 census image, I wonder if James and Ellen had separated ?

She seems to have been entered as Mrs JH Clarke, and "married", but the "Mrs" and "married" have both been vigorously crossed out.


ADDED:
On second thoughts, the declaration at the bottom also has "Mrs" crossed out, and just James Henry Clarke left
If they were no longer together, I would have thought the whole name would be obliterated, and her own forenames put in.
Presumably it's Ellen who completed the form.

She also has entered herself as "wife", not "head".
On the whole, I think she's got herself in a muddle as to which bits she changed.

ArgyllGran - I think you're right, it fits. One of her sister's did the same thing, acting as housekeeper to a widower miner with kids. I'm guessing neither of them would have got much more than food and board.

ArgyllGran, I don't think they were separated other than by James working elsewhere in 1911, they had at least one more child after 1911 - still researching that.

That would explain the muddle in 1911.
She wouldn't know if she was supposed to enter herself as head, or James, when he wasn't there on census night.


Later children probably Leonard A, in 1914, and Alan A in 1923, both in Mansfield .

Alan A is with Ellen in 1939.
